ACMRI has four basic sub-systems. First is a sidewinder-shaped external pod which attaches to the aircraft's missile mounting rack and contains instrumentation independent of the aircraft's own systems to measure altitude, airspeed, Mach number, angle of attack and sideslip, plus a compact inertial sensor which measures pitch, roll, heading and acceleration/deceleration. The instrumentation package... also contains a transponder-like radio link which transmits all this information down on command from the second sub-system, the ground tracking station network... the third sub-system-the Control and Computation facility... precise aircraft position determination, and data formatting prior to reaching the fourth... sub-system... the Display and Debriefing Sub-system. 3, record 2, English, - air%20combat%20manoeuvering%20range%20instrumentation

Omnidirectional air data system.... The design uses a swivelling probe for measuring air pressure.... The sensor will supply data to the system's transducer and microprocessor-based electronics unit. In more detail the system measures longitudinal airspeed(forward and backward), lateral and vertical airspeed, temperature and static pressure. 1, record 3, English, - omnidirectional%20air%20data%20system

The overspeed warning system consists of a maximum airspeed sensor, warning lights, warning horn, and associated wiring. The sensor, located in the right console, senses maximum airspeed from the airplane pitot and static system and causes the overspeed warning lights on the instrument panels to light and the warning horn located in the left console to sound. When maximum airspeed is reached for a given altitude, the contacts are open and the relay within the sensor is deenergized allowing its contacts to complete the warning circuit. 2, record 4, English, - overspeed%20warning%20system
